Hi all,

I started studying xen to implement some HA cluster hosting multiple guests.
I am realizing that xen does not provide any native way to hot-clone or hot-backup a guest.

Am I right ?

Is there any way to how backup a virtual machine? Or is suspend - copy  - resume the only possible tecnique ?
Is there any way to clone a virtual machine?
Do vm snapshots exists?

Thank you for every answer!

Andrea
